I think it is important to remember that these are muffins and not cup cakes hence they will be more bread like as opposed to the cupcake which is in essence a scaled down cake. If I were to make this recipe again I would probably add a bit more half as much sugar again maybe a muscovado or molasses .

WARNING****DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR INGREDIENTS*****
I have just joined to submit this review. I made these so called "chocolate muffins" yesterday (unfortunately before I had read the previous reviews) - many have summed these "muffins" up correctly - "chocolate flavoured insulation board is a very good description"!!! It was a total waste of ingredients and should be removed from the "Good Food" website!! The mixture made 12 (I made a double mix) inedible blobs that a) didn't rise b) are so hard you'll probably break some teeth if you try eating them and c) if you do manage to take a bite without breaking teeth you'll probably choke on it!!!! This recipe should come with a public health warning!!! I have given this a 1 rating but should be 0!!!!

Quite terrible, I also followed this recipe before checking the comments. They didn't rise, as there is no raising ingredient. Perhaps self-raising or a pinch of bicarb could save this recipe? Was hoping to core and fill but I'll just ice instead and hopefully don't choke!

I only joined also to say please don't waste time and money on this awful recipe!! My daughter made for a competition tomorrow and they came out dense like rocks. It's too late now to make something else. I wish I'd read the reviews before. I thought we'd done something wrong, but now realise it's a rubbish recipe. That photo does not go with this recipe.

Only joined this site to say how awful this recipe for chocolate muffins is. If you like eating chocolate flavored insulation board then it might be for you. Very dry and inedible without a dollop of custard and a large cup of tea. I can only think the author of this must have got the quantity of ingredients wrong?

Unfortunately I did not notice that the recipes on this website are not tested also I didn't see the reviews - silly me - as my son used this recipe for a controlled assessment for his gcse catering and got cement blobs that were dry/hard and inedible -the ingredients seem lacking on liquids and I can't imagine who would use 500g of icing sugar to ice six cakes - I can't understand how anyone got a successful result following this recipe.

An easy recipe ideal for beginners. After reading many of the latests comments I doubled the ingredients just in case I did not get enough for six muffins. However I had more than enough for 12. So next time I'll stick to the original quantities. Also I did not make the icing here as we don't like it too sweet. We made it with cream cheese, a bit of butter and a dash of honey.

This is a lovely recipe, my suggestion is use self raising flour and soft dark brown sugar, a splash of vanilla extract and white chocolate chips/fudge chunks. A good strong hand blender/mixer and get the mixture plenty aerated. Make sure all the dry ingredients are sieved, Also a good quality cocoa. Mine came out lovely!
